Winter does not want to leave. The kids will have absolutely nothing to do with hanging outdoors, and who can blame them when it’s dark, grey and dismal outside. The house feels cramped, crazy, and a wee bit wild! So what’s a Mama in the Suburbs to do if she is to survive until the lazy days of Summer rolls… View Post
It’s amazing to me how many ways corn touches your life. Have you ever really thought about it? The way a Canadian farmer, their corn, the wheat they grow, how it touches and improves your life?
